Aadya Verma, a 75-year-old former schoolteacher...
Aadya Verma, a 75-year-old former schoolteacher with a history of chronic liver disease from a past hepatitis infection, was brought to the ER by her daughter. Her abdomen was severely distended and taut (a condition called ascites), her legs were edematous, and she was confused. This was due to advanced cirrhosis causing portal hypertension and hypervolemia. The internal medicine specialist, Dr. Rodriguez, explained that the massive fluid buildup in her abdomen needed to be drained via paracentesis to relieve pressure and improve her breathing and mental state. Aadya was frightened and disoriented before the procedure. The drainage of several liters of fluid provided immediate, profound relief, she could breathe deeply again and her mind cleared. Recovery involved careful monitoring and new medications to prevent re-accumulation. Emotionally, she transitioned from the terror of acute illness and confusion to immense gratitude for the physical relief and lucidity. It was a stark reminder of her condition's seriousness, but also a testament to effective symptom management.
